Cloud codification — Wolkenverschlüsselung

[edit]

Codification	English Description	Deutsche Beschreibung (Details)
CL-Clouds — CL-Wolken
CL=0	No low clouds existing.	Keine tiefe (bzw. CL-)Wolken vorhanden.
CL=1	Cumulus humilis and / or Cumulus fractus existing. No bad weather clouds.	Cumulus humilis und/oder Cumulus fractus vorhanden. Keine Schlechtwetterwolken.
CL=2	Cumulus mediocris or Cumulus congestus, possibly with Cumulus fractus, Cumulus humilis or Stratocumulus. Minimum level in same height.	Cumulus mediocris oder Cumulus congestus, eventuell mit Cumulus fractus, Cumulus humilis oder Stratocumulus. Untergrenzen in gleicher Höhe.
CL=3	Cumulonimbus calvus; Cumulus, Stratocumulus, Stratus possible.	Cumulonimbus calvus, evtl. auch Cumulus, Stratocumulus, Stratus
CL=4		Stratocumulus cumulogenitus sind Stratocumulus-Wolken, die aus Cumuluswolken entstanden sind.
CL=5		Stratocumulus, der jedoch keine Mutterwolke hat (das heißt nicht aus Cumuli entstanden ist).
CL=6		Stratus nebulosus und/oder Stratus fractus. Keine Schlechtwetterwolken.
CL=7		Stratus fractus oder Cumulus fractus und/oder Cumulus pannus, meist unterhalb von Altocumlulus, Nimbostratus oder Cumulonimbus. Schlechtwetterwolken.
CL=8		Cumulus und Stratocumulus (nicht cugen) mit Untergrenzen in verschiedenen Höhen.
CL=9		Cumulonimbus capillatus, evtl. mit Cumulonimbus calvus, Cumulus, Stratocumulus oder Stratus.
CM-Clouds — CM-Wolken
CM = 1		Altostratus translucidus.
CM = 2		Altostratus opacus oder Nimbostratus.
CM = 3		Altocumulus translucidus auf gleicher Höhe.
CM = 4		Altocumulus (lenticularis) translucidus auf verschiedenen Höhen.
CM = 5		Altocumulus (stratiformis) perlucidus / translucidus radiatus (undulatus) oder opacus
CM = 6		Altocumulus cumulogenitus oder Altocumulus cumulonimbogenitus
CM = 7		Altocumulus (duplicatus) opacus / translucidus, evtl. mit Altostratus oder Nimbostratus
CM = 8		Altocumulus castellanus oder Altocumulus floccus
CM = 9		Chaotischer Himmel mit Altocumulus in verschiedenen Höhen
CH-Clouds — CH-Wolken
CH = 1		Vor allem Cirrus fibratus und evtl. Cirrus uncinus
CH = 2		Cirrus spissatus, castellanus oder floccus, nicht cumulonimbogenitus
CH = 3		Cirrus spissatus cumulonimbogenitus. Wenn mindestens eine dichte Cirruswolke (spissatus) aus einem Cumulonimbus entstanden ist (cbgen), wird dieser Code angewendet. Es können gleichzeitig noch andere Wolken vorkommen.
CH = 4		Dichter werdende Cirrus uncinus und / oder fibratus.
CH = 5		Cirrostratus und evtl. Cirrus (radiatus) unter 45° und dichter werdend.
CH = 6		Cirrostratus und evtl. Cirrus (radiatus) über 45° und dichter werdend
CH = 7		Cirrostratus, den ganzen Himmel bedeckend, evtl. mit Cirrus und Cirrocumulus
CH = 8		Cirrostratus, nicht den ganzen Himmel bedeckend, evtl. mit Cirrus und Cirrocumulus
CH = 9		Cirrocumulus (undulatus, evtl. mit Cirrus und Cirrostratus. Der größte Teil der hohen Wolken sind Cirrocumulus, die dabei oft in Wellenform angeordnet sind (undulatus).
